132: Chapter 132 Escape, Continuous Bombing

In response, Wang An used a minor divine ability to shroud his already chaotic consciousness, clarifying the desire to devour more high-energy life forms.

Immediately, with a single leap, John, who had grown into a humanoid Super Beast standing 12 meters tall, launched himself.

He jumped with all his might, breaking through layers of concrete and steel, and appeared on the surface.

The other high-ranking officials and researchers were still deep underground, observing and testing data on this humanoid Super Beast; they were startled by this sight.

However, the humanoid Super Beast ignored them and instead bolted toward the major cities on the West Coast of the USA.

A single leap or stride covered hundreds of meters, and in a few moments, he vanished from their sight.

"Immediately call up the military satellites and lock onto his position."

"Report this to the Sky City Council of 10; we have big trouble."

When they connected to the satellite system and located Dr. John,

the military personnel nearby calculated his trajectory.

"Sir, the humanoid Super Beast is targeting San Francisco. At his current speed, he will arrive in an hour. We have locked onto his position; should we use a small nuclear bomb to eliminate him?"

The representative from the pharmaceutical group, seeing that Mr. Dupont was about to destroy this hard-won genetic sample, became very anxious.

"Mr. Dupont, please wait. This Super Beast shouldn't be as powerful as those Super Beasts. We could try using the most powerful thermobaric bomb first to see if we can paralyze him. This way, we can preserve most of his body and flesh."

"On behalf of the pharmaceutical consortium, I will provide you with three newly developed life-extension serums. A single injection can extend your lifespan by 10 years."

"Even if the thermobaric bomb fails to eliminate him, you can always use nuclear weapons again, can't you?"

Other representatives of interest groups nearby also promised various benefits to Mr. Dupont, who held the authority over the weapons of destruction.

Seeing that everyone was promising so many benefits, he naturally wouldn't turn down such good things.

Dupont was merely a core member of his family, not a core heir. Naturally, the more precious life-extension serums and other benefits he could get, the better.

However, to be safe, he still ordered the military base to dispatch two bombers, each carrying the maximum yield thermobaric bomb and a small nuclear bomb, to ensure nothing went wrong.

Thinking of this, he felt pleased with his own clever idea.

When the first thermobaric bomb was dropped, Dr. John rushed out of the explosion's flames completely unscathed.

After the thermobaric bomb proved ineffective, they decisively dropped a small nuclear bomb.

However, Dr. John seemed to sense the threat from above; immediately after the small nuclear bomb was dropped, he broke through the soil and burrowed deep underground.

The core, ten-million-degree high-temperature zone of a small 1,000-ton tactical nuclear bomb extends only about two or three hundred meters, not to mention that burrowing deep underground greatly reduced the damage from the high heat.

Only the conventional high-pressure shockwave remained, which he was able to withstand with the cushioning of his biological force field.

After the nuclear explosion, when he crawled out from the center, he had only lost a portion of his flesh, which immediately regenerated at an extremely fast speed until he was fully recovered. He then bolted toward San Francisco again.

The people at the center who witnessed this scene were stunned. Mr. Dupont even slumped to the ground.

"Oh, my god."

This scene also left the Council of 10, who were monitoring the situation, stunned and then terrified. They immediately ordered:

"Immediately mobilize more nuclear bombs. We must eliminate this Super Beast. If ten-thousand-ton yields aren't enough, use 100,000-ton or 1,000,000-ton yields."

However, they still possessed some rationality. If they used higher-yield nuclear bombs, the country would basically be finished.

Upon receiving the order, Dupont immediately mobilized more nuclear missiles for the encirclement, combined with earth-penetrating bombs for deep-underground detonation.

Yet, Dr. John seemed to have anticipated this. His route consistently kept him in the depths of high mountains. With his extreme speed, he was able to avoid the centers of the nuclear explosions.

Furthermore, with each bombing, his adaptability to high heat and high-pressure shockwaves grew stronger.

However, amidst round after round of bombing, the flesh on his body was rapidly depleted, and he didn't have much energy left to sustain himself. Eventually, he reached the outskirts of San Francisco.

Meanwhile, countries around the world were extremely concerned about these continuous nuclear explosions, issuing diplomatic statements expressing their concern. Military satellites were urgently mobilized to monitor the situation.

As a result, even though the news was still in the hands of high-level officials in various countries, it began to spread rapidly to global society through leaks from unknown individuals.

Facing immense international public opinion and domestic pressure, the USA authorities declared that the Super Beast was exhausted and no longer posed a threat. At the same time, they organized more high-level Professionals, intending to capture him.

Just as the USA had anticipated, having endured no less than five nuclear explosions along the way, and having lost vast amounts of energy and flesh—even with Wang An secretly protecting him—he only managed to stumble to the outskirts of San Francisco.

But this time, bombers and fighter jets were hovering, waiting for him. Level 9 gene fusers were on standby here. Heavy tanks and Tomahawk cruise missiles were ready.

It seemed the USA authorities felt that if they couldn't capture him, they would eliminate him right here in one fell swoop.

The major nations of the world with the capability were also using their military satellites to observe the battle in real-time.

"Dr. John, please surrender immediately. The USA government will guarantee your safety."

"Dr. John, please..."

After losing a massive amount of berserk energy and suffering leaks, Dr. John, now sobered, naturally knew that once captured, the exploitation and inhuman torture he would face would be unimaginable.

Moreover, having seen what kind of people they were, he naturally wouldn't believe their nonsense. He had treated some uncooperative test subjects in exactly the same way.

Therefore, using his battered and broken body, he let out a "No" that ordinary people couldn't distinguish.

In two or three seconds, he crossed the distance to the Level 9 gene fusers. Even though he was near exhaustion, he was still not someone a Level 9 life form could contend with.

He grabbed one by the neck, split open his massive, sharp, monstrous mouth, and devoured its brain. Before the others could react, he immediately bolted toward the next target. Grab, devour; grab, devour.

Dupont, who was commanding the entire capture operation from the rear, no longer cared whether this was the outskirts of San Francisco. He immediately issued an order.

"Launch the nuclear missiles."

In a certain mountainous region, two intercontinental missiles carrying nuclear warheads flew toward the outskirts of San Francisco.

But what they didn't know was that, from Wang An's perspective, the increasingly strong fluctuations in the laws signified that his ascension to the Transcendent realm was imminent.

And after devouring 10 high-level life forms, an intense sense of crisis compelled Dr. John to instinctively dig underground.

When he had dug to a depth of 300 meters, the sky first saw the deployment of an earth-penetrating bomb, followed closely by the two nuclear missiles.

The earth-penetrating bomb drilled 100 meters down, blasting up a massive amount of soil. The nuclear missiles followed into this crater and detonated simultaneously.

Two small suns appeared in the sky, instantly vaporizing a massive amount of soil.

The tanks nearby that were preparing for the capture and hadn't managed to retreat further away were instantly vaporized into steel vapor by the extreme heat.

The shockwave swept toward the farmhouses in the outskirts and even impacted the urban area of San Francisco. The glass on numerous buildings was shattered by the shockwave simultaneously.

Some older buildings couldn't withstand such an impact and began to collapse. People nearby who hadn't evacuated further away were directly blown away by the shockwave, and upon falling, showed no signs of life.
